Website Evaluation

CRAAP test for websites/videos/books:

Answer these questions to evaluate a website.

  • CURRENCY: look for a date - is it current? 
  • RELEVANCE: does it meet my research needs?  Is it college-level?
  • AUTHORITY: who created/authored/published/sponsored this site/book/video?  What type of authority does the author have?
  • ACCURACY: is the information verifiable?  Has it been reviewed by others?  Do they cite their sources?
  • PURPOSE: why was this website/book/video written/made?  What are the biases?  What is the ending of the url (.gov, .edu, .com, .org) tell you?
